Summary

This trialstudies how well cabozantinib-s-malate works to treat rare tumors in younger patients, blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth and blood vessel growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients up to 18 years old with specific rare tumors or sarcomas, including Wilms tumor, and some up to 30 years old. They must have measurable disease, adequate organ function, no prior treatment with MET/HGF inhibitors like XL184, and not be on certain medications that affect the liver or heart.
What is being tested?
The effectiveness of Cabozantinib-S-Malate is being tested in this phase II trial. It's aimed at treating children and young adults whose tumors are recurrent, resistant to therapy or newly diagnosed without known curative options.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include issues related to blocking enzymes needed for tumor growth which may affect normal cells too. This can lead to problems with blood pressure control, digestive system absorption, bleeding risks and possibly impact cardiac health.
